51:16Using a table map, Zelenskyy explains Russian advances toward Kyiv and Ukrainian efforts to push them back.

Steven Bartlett asks Volodymyr Zelenskyy how he is genuinely doing, and the answer unfolds through the routines that leave little room for rest: nightly calls with air defense teams, operational messages and meetings with grieving parents.

The conversation, recorded October 16, became The Diary Of A CEO's most-watched new upload of the week, reaching roughly 5.3 million views. Zelenskyy describes the difficulty of presenting posthumous awards to soldiers' parents. Asked what keeps him grounded, he names his children and the example he wants to set for them.

Bartlett also brings childhood photographs to the conversation, tracing Zelenskyy's path through law school, comedy and Servant of the People. The English audio uses AI voice technology with Zelenskyy's permission, based on human translation and editorial review; his original Ukrainian recording is available as an alternate audio track.

Mark Cuban supplies the week's other substantial interview, covering sales, AI, hiring and the culture of the Dallas Mavericks. An accompanying upload describes a more personal turn: Bartlett surprises Cuban with an unread letter from his younger brother, Brian. Cuban's full conversation currently draws the most daily views on the channel, while the older "CHOOSING THE RIGHT LIFE PARTNER ❤️" also remains busy.

The channel added about 300,000 subscribers over the week, even as its current daily viewing fell below half its usual level. Among its listed podcast peers, it recorded the largest weekly views gain. PowerfulJRE and First We Feast also added subscribers, while Team Coco and Shawn Ryan Show had unchanged subscriber counts. For Bartlett, the week's viewing stretched well beyond the new interviews, with the archive contributing to a substantial weekly audience.
